Zusatztext ‘Monica Hanaway provides a boutique style of coaching in several different environments from a private space in a clinic, to the wider corporate world, up to the retirement and post-retirement stage. Her attitude to the ‘what now?’ or ‘what next?’ offers a fresh and versatile way of doing coaching, which is non-prescriptive, not overly reliant on technique, and where the subject precedes the object. Having practiced existential coaching for many years, Hanaway describes how the phenomenological-ontological space of exploration, transforms life as to become truly worth living. Even when enough money is earned, goals are reached, career changes are considered, CHOICE becomes the essence for change. The model is shown to work well in both the professional and personal spheres.’ - Claire Francica, Existential Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist, Malta‘Monica has a special ability to draw out disparate views, provide constructive challenge and provide innovative perspectives that allow individuals to reach consensus. In the context of our fast-paced business, Monica’s coaching practices have proved invaluable, helping to create close-knit and highly performing teams. Having had the pleasure of watching her expertly coax out the underlying issues in the driving behaviour of passionate and knowledgeable people, I am a full convert to her approach to both team and self-improvement. I would have no reservations in recommending this book to anyone wishing to use coaching to develop their leadership skills.’ - John Davison; CEO FCG Guernsey‘Existential Coaching skills are very practical and yet immensely inspired instruments for coaches to use in addressing people's difficulties in living. Monica Hanaway has been fine tuning these skills for many years and you will find this summary to the point and indispensable to your coaching practice.’ - Prof. Emmy van Deurzen PhD, MPsych, MPhil, FBPsS, CPsychol, FBACP, UKCPF, HCPCreg, Principal NSPC ‘Coaching provides businesses, from large corporates to small, privately owned firms, with a distinctive edge. External coaching offers a unique viewpoint that simply cannot be readily achieved from an in-house position. Working creatively with people and facilitating positive, often necessary change, highlighting skills and co-creating a vision that fits into the values of the people and the business alike – this is priceless, no matter what one’s role in an organisation. Monica writes from the distinct perspective of a successful business leader who, recognising the need for external feedback of a multi-disciplinary approach, emerged as a highly skilled and effective coach. Drawing on her experience as a coach, mediator, psychotherapist, supervisor, lecturer and following decades of teaching and mentoring, this book provides the framework for the application and key tools and techniques for coaching from an Existential perspective. Monica passes this knowledge on in the most effective way in her new book. As an attendee of her workshops, I have witnessed her expert ability to tease out the significant, introspective questions that gently challenge one to reflect upon core values or behaviours that may subtly conflict with the goals of the business. The impact upon our Practice in just one day was invaluable, and I have to attribute this to the exclusivity of the Existential approach to coaching. Our staff will read this and continue to engage in the reflective practices that will enable them to develop as effective mentors to their colleagues. Their efficacy in utilising these skills today is primarily due to the external support they have received. Thus, I would highly recommend this book to students, coaches, managers and anyone wishing to progress effectively and ethically in business.’ - Marni Eisenberg; MA, MBACP, UKCP, MPED, IRegNutrClinical Director & Therapist Queens Road Practice, Guernsey‘Coaching is of great value to all leaders.
